About Lower Merion School District

The 2027–2028 Lower Merion calendar begins Tuesday, September 7, after Labor Day. Students finish Wednesday, June 14, 2028, with a full day of classes. Teacher preparation in late August and early September comes before the student opening, while the June 15 teacher day falls after students finish. The district publishes 181 pupil days with one snow day built in. If that snow day goes unused, May 26 becomes a holiday for staff and students.

Thanksgiving time off begins November 24 with a professional development closure, followed by the November 25–26 holiday and the weekend. Students return November 29. Winter break runs December 24–31; the January 1–2 weekend follows, and classes resume January 3. Spring break moves to April 10–14. Including both weekends, students have April 8–16 off and return April 17.

April 25 is another professional development closure, separate from spring break. February 18 and 21 join through the weekend into four days without classes. Memorial Day closes schools May 29, but a four-day weekend starting May 26 depends on the snow-day condition. School-level conference dates and dismissal times require a separate check of the online calendars.
